When looking at salary comparison information, it’s important to remember that salaries vary significantly by specialty and location, even within a given state. NP’s employed rurally may make more than their urban counterparts, for example. While state-by-state salary comparisons don’t give an entirely accurate picture of your personal income potential, they can help you identify NP friendly states where you might want to practice.
